Q2: Compared to other light sources, CFLs, incandescents, halogen,
how useful are LEDs as design features #techometalk

TecHome Casey
@TecHomeCasey
CFLs are useful, but it takes time for them to brighten and a lot of
consumers don't like the bulbs. I have them in every room

Remember that LEDs need a different dimmer than their incandescent

If you retrofit fixtures with new LED bulbs, but on incandescent dimmers,
you'll get flickering and bulbs might not work! #techometalk

@lights_online Yes! I joined a webcast from @Lutron on that very
subject. Lights won't perform well otherwise. #techometalk

@TecHomeCasey
@lights_online so when you buy the LED fixture you might as well
purchase a new dimmer too. #techometalk

Q4: How important is color temperature of LEDs and in which rooms is it
most important? #techometalk

Color temperature is important! Many people think LEDs still don't
render color temp very well, but it's improving #techometalk

The same color temp as incandescent, 2700K (warm white), is available
in many LED bulbs and fixtures #techometalk

#techometalk

@TecHomeCasey
@PardeeHomes Joyce Mason said it's important because you don't
want different color temps spotted all over a room #techometalk

That being said, some people prefer cooler white light for varying
reasons and LEDs are available in higher temps too #techometalk
